It’s actually Field of Battle 2 - I gave my FPW troops a bit of a change, and chose FoB2 as I was playing solo. I have four sets of rules I regularly use with my 10mm FPW troops - Walter Schnaffs, FoB2, From Shako to Coalscuttle and They Died for Glory (Yes, ! am a rules tart!). I also use Chris Pringle’s Bloody Big Battles for the big historical scenarios in both 6mm and 2mm (and 3mm for the ACW - see You and who’s army?)

A.Setting up the wargames area. Table, chairs refreshments. 10%B. Setting up the actual game before turn 1 starts. This includes pre-game. 15%C. playing the game 40%D.Post game analysis 25%E. Picking up the physical area (seeA) 10%

I now have a collapsible table which takes about 15 minutes to put up and take down, so I tend to do setting up and taking down the day before and the day after.

Yes; a few days before a military history day at the Museum of Liverpool I was asked if I would like to help out on the Liverpool Wargames Association stand. Despite the atrocious weather it was a very pleasant experience and I ended up getting my first ever Wings of War game.

Unfortunately a number of factors are interfering with my wargaming at present - mainly to do with home improvements. Consequently it will probably be a few revisions down the line before I am able to give the new version a whirl, but I do find this feedback extremely useful.

That’s great news. I am quite fond of historical scenario campaigns in which you simply total your wins against your opponent’s. It gives a nice string of games with a purpose without all the map, politics, economics, returning casualties stuff which often leads to the collapse of a campaign.

A bit of a mix. I have already made two armies for use with Bloody Barons, and have had many great games with them. However, I am also a player of Basic Impetus 2 and To the Strongest. I have also been inspired by Fat Wally’s (Kev) WOR prepared for Impetus, so duly looked at my lead mountain. Lo and behold about 90% Peter Pig figures, so I shall be preparing these on 80mm frontage bases for use with BI2 and TtS, using my 10cm squared cloth.

Nope, they were totally rogered and their army commander was killed - oops! However if you want to do a refight of the battle then quite a few cavalry are needed and it is worth including this aspect in the rules for completeness. Will the new rules include the historical battles scenarios?
